All I wanted was for you to stay away;
Leave me alone so I can pretend to be ok;
But you kept coming closer no matter what;
It didn’t matter how many doors I shut;
You kept coming further into my heart;
You kept pulling my locked doors apart;
I wanted you to see me as someone brave;
The person I was before I gave and gave;
I wanted you to think that I’m still strong;
But I haven’t seen that woman in so long;
If you keep coming closer you’ll see it too;
You’ll see all the secrets you’d then wish you never knew;
You’d see all my ugly and all of my flawed;
Because I’m not really the girl you awed;
I wish I was and I tried hard to be;
Everything on the outside I made for you to see;
But you broke down my walls and now you know;
That girl you loved was nothing but a show;
So why haven’t you left like all the rest;
Why are you still here when I’m not at my best;
You know I’m a mess so why haven’t you ran;
Why aren’t you leaving me while you still can;
Why must you be here promising you’ll stay;
Why are you the first I’m believing won’t go away
